The day's editorial focus initially balanced the aftermath of the controversial anti-corruption law, with businessmen's reactions, against emerging details of Ukraine-Russia peace talks planned for Istanbul. As the morning progressed, media highlighted President Zelensky's approval of the delegation for Istanbul, concurrently reporting on ongoing frontline battles and calls for unrestricted long-range missiles. By early afternoon, the narrative shifted to Zelensky's meeting with anti-corruption bodies (NABU and SAP), which subsequently sought legislative action, while European officials linked financial aid to democratic standards regarding these reforms. The primary editorial attention later moved to the formal commencement of Istanbul negotiations, with delegations arriving and Zelensky emphasizing an immediate, full ceasefire. Domestically, Zelensky announced a new bill to restore independence to NABU and SAP, acknowledging public demand. The day concluded with reports of Ukraine's readiness for a ceasefire, proposals for a leaders' summit, and a successful prisoner exchange resulting from the Istanbul discussions.
